PEOPLE LIVE IN THE CAFES
t When They Do Get Into Their Houses
Their Principal Occupation Is Look-
I ing Out of the Windows The Mar
riage Customs of Greece
Dome life in Greece particularly in
Athens is peculiar It might ilmost
be said that there is no such thin
In Mr Duckett Ferrimans book on
Greece and the Greeks the
and customs of the picturesque Ilel
lenes which are little known to the
i average English reader are described
at length Mr Ferriman states that
the Greeks do not know anything
about the art of making a home
One may meet with exquisite clean
liness he writes with beautiful
embroidered bed linen scented with
rosemary but never with what we
mean by coziness The Greeks are far
less in their houses than we arc and
when they are at home they appear to
spend most of their time in looking
out of the window They are not given
to inviting their friends to their
houses It is not that they are-
j gardly for they will gladly entertain
you at a restaurant at far greater cost
to themselves But it does not enter
into their ideas to nsk you home to
dinner even after an acquaintance of
many years
They do not ask each other so it
can hardly be expected that they
should make an exception in the case
of foreigners The cafe Is a second
home to them There they meet
friends and gossip That is one reason
perhaps why they dislike country life
It offers no alternative to the home
there the hearth is the social center
while in town it is the cafe In Athens
those who do not own the house they
dwell in seldom remain long in the
same abode Two or three years is
quite a long tenure Many people
make a point of moving every year
The imposing facades of Athenian
houses conceal for the most part a
bare and comfortless interior and a
well kept garden is rare A garden is
not made in a year and a person who
changes his residence every twelve
months does not want to be troubled
with mufh furniture nor is he par
ticular as to its arrangement seeing
that it will be carted away in a few
months
Home life has no resources for the
Greeks as it has for us It affords
them little occupation and no amuse
ment They like to eat and drink in
crowds where there is noise and move
ment Their Instincts are too gregari
ous to allow them to appreciate the
domestic intimacy which we prize
The day chosen for marriage in
Greece is usually Sunday but the day
of all days in the year is the Sunday
preceding the Christmas feast It is
not fashionable now to be married in
church In Athens the ceremony takes
place in the house of the brides par
ents A temporary altar is set up in
the middle of the room
At the conclusion of the ceremony
the priest and the couple join hands
and walk three times round the altar
the guests pelting them with comfits
The most important part of the cere
mony is the crowning of the bride arl
bridegroom with wreaths of orange
blossom hence a wedding is popular
ly called the crowning
Love marriages are rare exceptions
The match is made by the parents and
relatives rather than by the parties
principally concerned There are cer
tain established usages which though
not legally binding are not to be con
travened with impunity
Then it is considered wrong for
brothers to marry until their sisters
have been wed Again girls must
marry In order of seniority It would
not be right for a girl to be married
while she had an elder sister who re
mained single The men of a family
are thus naturally anxious to see their
sisters settled and as a dowry is in
dispensable its provision is often a
matter of serious anxiety and the fruit
of great self denial on the part of the
brothers if the parents are dead
There are cases in which brothers
have remained unmarried for years
and have devoted all their hard earned
savings to the dowries of their sisters
Among the poorer classes emigration
is resorted to not infrequently solely
with this object and many a dowry
comes to a Greek maiden from across
the Atlantic

LAYING BRICKS
How Scientific Methods Raised the
Standard of a Days Work
There a e now eminent consulting
engineers who are engaged by indus
trial heads to study their establish
ments from top to bottom with a view
to finding by scientific study the meth
ods of working accounting and han
dling labor which will improve on the
old traditional habits Some extraordi
nary results have been attained What
scientific management means is ad
mirably illustrated by the story of
bricklaying as told by an expert
Ordinarily a brick mason makes
eighteen different sets of motions in
laying a single brick He bends over
in the first place to pick up one brick
and in lifting it he lifts ten pounds of
brick and about a hundred pounds of
brick mason the upper part of his
own body In laying 1000 bricks in a
days work he lifts 100000 pounds of
brick mason This was an obvious
waste of labor So a common laborer
was hired to put the bricks where the
masons would not have to stoop for
them Another thing is that when a
mason picks up a handmade brick
which is always a little thicker at one
side than on the other he tosses the
brick up turning it over until his
touch tells him which side is the top
before he puts it in place in the wall
The cure for this was to have all the
bricks piled top up before they were
brought to the masons Then further
every one has seen the mason tap his
brick several times to settle it into the
mortar more waste of time The cure
was to make the mortar thinner so
that the weight of the brick would set
tle it into the right position This was
scientific management motion study
It raised the days work for the aver
age brick mason from 1000 up to 2700
bricks a day and in individual cases to
much higher figures The mason made
only six motions where he used to
make eighteen American Review of

WHISTLER WAS INDIGNANT
The Idea of Buying His Pictures and
Then Demanding Possession
A certain eminent English lady the
proud possessor of a title of fairly high
degree who admired Whistlers gen
ius to the extent of purchasing one of
his pictures never was able to obtain
possession of her property One day
she drove to the studio in her victoria
Mr Whistler went to greet her
Mr Whistler she said two years
ago I bought one of your pictures a
beautiful thing and I have never been
able to hang it on my walls It has
been loaned to one exhibition or an
other Now today I have my carriage
with me and I would like to take it
home with me I am told it is in your
possession
Dear lady returned Whistler you
ask the impossible I will send It to
yjou when I have it again but it is not
hqre You have been misinformed
And so forth and so forth to the same
effect and the lady drove off without
her picture
After she had departed Whistler
commenced to poke around his studio
and to the great astonishment of a
friend who had been an involuntary
listener to the above conversation he
brought forth a canvas
Here it is he said She was right
about one thing it is beautiful And
it was beautiful
But the impudence of these people
he continued who think that because
they pay a few paltry hundred pounds
they own my pictures Why it mere
ly secures them the privilege of hav
ing them in their houses now and
then The pictures are mine
A Medical Sherlock Holmes
A physician was knocked down and
robbed while on his way to see a pa
tient His pockets were rifled and
one of the articles stolen was a clin
ical thermometer with which he had
earlier in the evening taken the tem
perature of a patient He remem
bered the temperature registered and
also that he had not shaken down the
mercury before putting the thermom
eter in his pocket He communicated
these facts to the police Some time
afterward a thermometer registering
the identical temperature was discov
ered in a pawnshop and the police
were enabled thereby to track the doc
tors assailants and to arrest them
The Wicked Majority
A new gardener had been employed
on a Long Island estate This man
was raking leaves off the lawn one fall
day when a neighbor passing by in
quired of him Wheres the gardener
who used to work here
Dead sir was the reply
Dead said the astonished neigh
bor Then musing he added Joined
the great majority eh
Oh sir the gardener interrupted in
a shocked voice I wouldnt like to
say that He was a good enough man
as far as I know
Caution
Shall I have this prescription filled
without further consultation asked
the patient
Certainly replied the physician
Why not
I thought maybe Id better call in
a handwriting expert Washington
